He probably will file an appeal for trial in the circuit court. He has ten days in which to do this. The trouble between Bundy and Higert resulted from the men taking si T 's in the Oraham-Rodgers fight, of a dew nights ago. After the latter fight had oceured, several persons wore talking about it. Bundy who id ed in with Rodgers, remarked that Rodgers had not given him—meaning Graham—enough. This angered Higert, who was In the crowd, and he struck Bundy.

Put namville is suffering from an epidemic of typhoid fever. There are half a dozen or more cases in the little village and a number of others are ill threatened with the same disease. The physicians are at a loss to account for these cases. The water supply is not at fault, since scarcely any two of the families get water from the same source. Among those who are suffering are Mrs. Henry Layman, Mrs. Elizabeth Hill, Miss Edna Curtis, Miss Cleo Heppler, Walter Williams and Oliver Cromwell, aged nine. Dr. Horn of Putnamville is the attending physician with all these cases.

The daughters of Rebekah took an outing Thursday evening in the form of a picnic. 35 or more of the Rebekahs, together with a number of their relatives and friends went to the home of John Cook west of town and spent the evening. The picnic supper which was a ‘‘top-notch” article both in quantity and quality was spread on the lawn and here the Rebekahs and their friends enjoyed the feasting and fun. After supper dignity was laid aside and all joined in the games played. When darkness came all went indoors and a pleasant social hour followed. Miss Nina Cook entertained the company with music on the piano and was hightly complimented on her skill. All Rebekahs and guests spent a pleasant even-

The Torr family held its tenth annual reunion at the grove of W. L. Torr. From early in the morning until ten o'clock the Torr's continued to arrive by train, by buggy, interurban and autos. Not as many as usual attended, however, some of the older ones were unable to be present on

account of sickness.

A very plentiful dinner was spread under the maple tree and about 2:30 the meeting was called to order by president W. E. Torr. Song and prayer was followed by the reading of the minutes of the previous meet-

. .Rev. Irj R. Hicks is out in his long range guess on September weather. His schedule for the coming- month does not contain much rain only at the autumnal equinoctial period, however, he forsees the probabilities of frosts about the 15th. The forecast in substance is given below: A reactionary storm period is in progress as we pass from August into September. Reactionary or antistorm periods may occur on and 2nd and 3rd with unsettled weather owing to the approaching of the autumnal equinox. The first regular storm period is booked to be due from the 4th to the 8th, central on the Cth attended by some decided storms. During Sunday, the Cth and Tuesday the 8th and possibly over the 9th and 10th there will be decided storms in most parts of the country with cold, stubborn cloudiness and rain for many days, progressing from southward to northward. On the loth. 11th and 12th will occur another reactionary storm attended by much coo]er weather, breaking up about the 15th with frost in many localities. The second regular storm period extends from the 15th to 19th. The character of these storms will be plainly indicated many hours before they appear by reading any reliable barometer. As this storm period falls near the center of the autumnal equinoctial which falls on the 22nd general and violent rain storms may reasonably be expected at this

time.

This spell will be followed by a reactionary storm from the 22nd to 2. r ith attended by electrial disturb-

ances.

The lar.t regular storm period of the month begins on the 27th and extends over to October 2nd. As the month goes out low barometer and general storm conditions will be in transit from the west to east. On and touching the 29th and 30th wide areas of cloudiness and rain will develop, bringing in a genera] spell of autumnal rain, wind and disagree-
